A McQuivey’s Costume Shop Romance Series

Synopsis

Romance blossoms when Isla Crawford steps into McQuivey’s Costume Shop in London and is swept back in time to 1605, where she and Lord Bancroft attempt to thwart Guy Fawkes’s Gunpowder Plot.

Deliverables

  • Primary book cover (print)

  • Spine and back cover layout

  • Series logo for spine and chapter headings

Design Approach

Using a photo-collage style consistent with Shadow Mountain’s Proper Romance line, I merged historical and fantastical elements to convey time travel and adventure. A custom series logo contains subtle “easter egg” references to the overarching plot.

Key Design Features

  • Consistent Photoshop illustration style across titles

  • Visual cues for time travel and fantasy elements

  • Series logo incorporating hidden narrative details
